Dull Boys. Some of tho grandest spirits thai the world has ever . known?mer whose works and raeraorjes are en daring?were regarded in youth a; dunces. They flowered late but bon the rarest fruit* j Sir Isaac Jfewton was pronounced j dunce in his early school days. H( stood low in his classes and seemed t< have no relish for study, the "bright boy" of the school gav< bini a kick in the stqmach, whicl caused him severe pain- The insul Stung young Newtou to the quick and he resolved to taalre Jiimself foj and reSpccted by improved scholar ship, r He ^pplied^i^gl^ rcsqlujgfr to Bttrdj", fnd c(pp6nf stood in hi claes ateovwhe boy who -had kicbei him, and ultimately became the firs scholar in the school, l^ewton owe his ppeemineuce in hia philosophies ^ stadias more to pereeyer^nco and aj * * plication than to any marvellomj nai ural endowments. Oliver Goldsmith, than whom n boy could appear more stupid, wa .

JUver --tfhen he Ijad produced the "Travel ~~ lor," an eminent critic said to a friend "Sir^ I do believe that GoldsmM "Wrote that poem;, and that, let mc tell you, is believing a great deal." Sir Walter Scott was a dull bo}*, and when attending tbo University al Edinburgh he went by the name ol I'The Great Blockhead." But he wasteU no time on trifles, and, in pur suing a study that beloved, as, for ex ample, history or the classics, ho waf persevering and methodical. He was one of those whose knowledge ?n a pubject that interested him increased until it lay like a great volume in his mind. When Walter Scott began t<i raako uso of that knowledge, society fave him pother name, somewhat ifferent from tho Edinburg appellation?it was "Tljo Great Magician." Ilutton, tho antiquarian, whose knowledge of books was remarkable, was slow t? leara when a boy. lie was sent tri a eertain Mr. Moat. He thus telte his experience: ' My master took occasion to beat my head Against lhe wall, holding it by the hair, but he never could beat any learning into it." Sheridau found it hard to acquire the elements of learning. Hismother deemed it her duty, to inform his teacher that he was not bright to i learn like other boy#, Adam Clark was pronounced by hi* fathdr to be a "grievous dunce," and Dr. Chambers was pronounced by his t>acheras an incorrigible ono. Chat-' terton was dismissed from school by bis master as a fool. -. Sixteen Reasons. t A writer in an English journal gives tbe following plain ancT forcible reasons far abstinence from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. It is a vnw sanctioned both by religion # and common senile : 1. Because ale, porter, gin, rum, brandy, etc., all contain a spirit which is calculated to derange the humon system. 2. Becapso none of these drinks, as an habitual beverage, are ever useful, buralwajB" injurious to-persontf iTT health, and many professing Christians, both young and, old, have beon ruined by them* \ . . 3. Because drunkennes is a besetting s]n, and leads* to idleness, quarroling, swearing, fighting, stealing, adultery, murdeiy and almost every other |in, and finally to eternal misery. 4. Becauso drinking produces poverty, bankrupty, destruction of property, loss of reason, disease, and premature death. 5. Becauso a great deal of valuable tirao,J labor, and capital are worse than wasted upon making, vending and using the drinks. 6. Bocau&e aver seventy millions of money, being more than the whole rovenue, arc annually exponded upon tbem in the United Kingdom, which ought to be laid out in food aud manufactures. fj, Because nearly sis millions of bushels of good grain are annually destroyed in this Christiau land to make these liquors, while the markets are high and many..<tf the poor are starving. 8. Because intemperance obstructs tho progress of civilization, education, the roligion of Jesus, and every useful reform. .. ? 9. Because abstinence is sure and sale, bilt'drinking moderately is dangerous, and has led to all the drunken npss in the world 10. Because T 'ffnd I cannot effectu ally warn the drunjeard, or set him ar example unless I myself an entire abstainer* 11. Because I like to join those whe are exerting themselves to promote tho temporal and spiritualreformatioi and happiness of man. 12. Because it is important to set t safe example of perfecting sobriety t< oar ctfltireD, friends, and associates. 13. Because it is our Christian dutj to deny; ourselves even of lawfu things to promote the happiness o; Olivers, r 14. Because, while millions in time and otdrnfty have repented of drink ing, not One has over repented of ab staining. 15. Becaiwe, ^bile no bloseing f< pronounced upon drinking, God's ap provnl i?.frequently recorded in favoi of abstinenco. [Seo Jer. xxxv.; Luk< i, 15 ; Rom. xiv, 21; Prov. xx, 1.] 16. Beeause I should be ashamed t< touch, taste, handle,-- o* -fceep in mj Louse, the article which is flllinff lh< land with dissipation, vice, poverty miserjj^&ttenltttioa.-And woe. Judge Barnard, in charging 'tJj< frafcd jury In the Court of Oyer and crraicr of Ifesr York, yesterday, tbat ''It is safe to aay, and ] know' frbm experience, that noarly all < A -11 ?U tilo Hl8(.BOnWB hi1u nu uki lam yvv iueti in New York are wpportod out of J,ho city treasury." :? trr.., f,.

Toes not tho man (probably the hst sho would havo chosen) select her ? . A very clcvcr correspondent has sent us a letter containing this query ; and she makes out her case ably. She says: "I luve been married many 3'ears; the match was considered a very good one, suitable in every respect?ago, position and fortune, mm onifl F Kor? m f?H f? A trnori Wi J VilV OttlU K M?*V?

As I look at him in hie eajiy <chuir, a huge dog. at his feet, c pipe peeping out of one of the' many pockets of his ^hooting coat, 1 can but think how different ho is from what ] would have chosen. My first pen chaut was for a fashionable clergy man, a perfect Adonis; he was s flatterer, and. he eared but little foi me, though I have not yet forgotter the pang of his desertion. My ncx1 was a barrister; a young man of im tnense talent, smooth, insinuating man ncrs; but he, too, alter talking, walk inff danoinor and flirtinsr. left me it ? o o the lurch. Either of vthese woul< have been my 'choice.' had I so choson but my present husband chose me and therefore I married him ; and this I cannot help thinking, most ?be tlx way with half the married folks o iny acquaintance." Waste Paper for Household Uses. Few housekeepers have time ti blacken thoir stoves every day, o even every week. Many wash then in either clean water or dish watei This keeps them clean, but they lool very brown. After a stove has beei blackened, it can be kept looking vor; 1 well fuf a longtime by rnbbing it will paper every morning. If I occasion ally find a drop of gravy or fruit juic that the paper will, not take off, I ru it with a wet cloth but do not pu ' on water enough to take off th blacking. I find that rubbing wit v paper is a much riicer way of keep \ ping the outside of my teaketth 4 coffee-pot, and tea-pot bright an clean, than the old way of washin them in suds. The inside of cofle< 1 pots and tea-potg should be- rinsed i * dear Water, and never in the dish water. . Kubbing with dry paper is also th L best way of polishing knives and tiz ware after scourii*g. This saves we ting tho knife^h^ndles. If a littl 5 floor bo'held ob the paper in rubbin tinware and KpOflfafl, they ehine Iik new silver. For polishing windowi mirrors, lamp-chimneys^ etc., I alwaj use paper in preference to' any dr " cloth. Preserves and pickles ket J much better if brown paper, instca nf f-lftf.h 'iK t.iorl over the iar.

It is wannci thinner, and makes less noise wboi one walivs over it. A fair carpet cai s be made for a room not in constan [ use, by pasting several thicknesses c , newspaper on the floor, over them [ coat of wall-paper, and giving it ; I coat of .varnish.
